Abstract

We report a case of Mycetoma of the forearm and hand in a 52 year-old man caused by Streptomyces spp. Because of the extensive involvement of all compartments that rendered the extremity functionless, an above elbow amputation was done. In the early stages of the disease the treatment with antibiotics is curative. We report this case of extensive actinomycotic mycetoma of the hand for its rarity and we encourage clinicians to maintain a high index of suspicion in cases of chronic granulomatous infection of the upper extremity to prevent the catastrophic complications that may result in limb amputation.

Özet

Biz burada Streptomyces spp. tarafından ön kol ve elde oluşturulmuş 52 yaşındaki miçetoma vakasını sunduk. Tüm kompartmanların yaygın tutulumu nedeniyle ekstremite işlevsiz hale gelmiş ve dirsek üstü amputasyon yapılmıştır. Hastalığın erken evrelerinde antibiyotik küratiftir. Biz bu olguyu miçetomanın elde nadir görülmesi ve kronik granülomatöz enfeksiyon varlığında, amputasyon gibi katastrofik komplikasyonların engellenmesi için klinisyenin yüksek oranda miçetomadan şüphelenmesi gerekliliğini belirtmek için sunduk.
